Yoga clothes are a great reward.

Your menu is quite colorful… i cant handle the idea of eating goat or sheep. I wish i could cook. I have a lot of veggie and diabetic cookbooks, but no real use for them. lol.

I like the idea of meal planning on a calendar - I may start doing that. Thank you.

I also liked your statement, “I have no excuse not to eat this way forever except laziness.” It’s a bit of an eye opener isn’t it? I’ve made excuses for myself for so long…..

What a great way to look at this journey - as a celebration of a lot of successes along the way.

Thank you for that thought.

Congrats at avoiding the temptations! It sounds like you’ve made a turn in a positive direction. The turkey recipe sounds soo good. Freezing is a great way to deal with leftovers and plan ahead. Keep the good habits going.

I plan all of my meals way in advance so I can keep things under control!

Hi there! And here I thought I was the only one who made meal plans weeks in advance. I have to say that I truly enjoy putting them together. Before, I used to think of “food” and “eating” as being bad for me. But now I know that you can eat varied, colorful, tasty meals and still lose weight.

I’ve always loved my food, and I get so much enjoyment out of imagining the things I could make. Sadly, college life doesn’t leave you much time to cook, but I remain a devoted foodie nonetheless!

I’d say I’m ok with eating this way for a long, long time to come. What’s exciting and sort of weird is that when you’re off sugar/caffeine/fatty foods you start noticing how food in general *tastes* better. It’s more flavorful somehow, like you are more sensitive to what you consume…

Well, I’ve rambled I’m afraid. I really enjoyed reading your post though.

Stay well, and stick to your plan!

I had that happen to me too - cooking went from something I did to keep from starving (and minimally) to something I really enjoy (and now has become something I’m pretty good at too). It’s been nice.

Yeah for your boss noticing, but double yeah for you taking better care of yourself & your appearance!

lol. my mom’s a psychiatrist. she’s always finding new ways to get inside my head. XD

I’m really happy for you. I only started wearing makeup a while ago, when I became surer of myself… And now I’ll do my damnedest to shed the pounds to give me even more confidence.

Well, good luck to you. It is very satisfying to notice your clothes are looser, isn’t it?

Good luck with your journey~

I too take a picture of myself (every week) in a swimsuit. It is really motivating.
